RE: BuzzSteem Ep 12 [Dmania, Post Dropping, Heartfelt Blogs and More!]

in #writing7 years ago

I didn't want to put my old content up because I agree with your sentiments on double dipping but I can understand other people who do this because it can be tempting to keep your work "eternal" on the blockchain. Though there are a few pieces I want to recreate to better suit Steemit, I agree that it is a better place for new and unique content & topics.

Your videos are great. Its my new source for Steemit news. You've created a great strategy for creating consistent and new, unique content. Keep it up

Sort:  

YT can take down your channel any time they want, besides, you spent time creating something so there is no reason to not try and sell it at a later date. If a painter has his works hanging in a gallery, is that a reason to not sell it to a paying customer?

I mean, I guess that's true, but also very different. Art is somewhat timeless, compared to say, blogs about cryptocurrency from 2012. I suppose it depends on what content you are putting out. Cheetah wouldn't exist if Steemit wanted you to repost from a previous source, but bear in mind that Cheetah can also only identify verbage, as opposed to video or pictures. I think even a mix of both is just fine, but as I posted to @spacetimebadass, I don't really think it's cool to just plan to use Steemit to copy and paste a year's worth of old blogs. I think that's pretty lame. And I realize some may disagree, but that's my stance on it.

Absolutely! I post both, some previously uploaded to YT, but also DTube exclusives. I have zero objections to you posting some of your old videos, both because they are timeless, and the amount of effort that went into making them. I guess you are right about time sensitive material from a year ago, there really is no point in posting that.

Yeah it's very tricky. I imagine there are lots of other blockchain websites available if people just want permanent storage for their content. I can see the temptation to just add the content here though. It's a new audience after all!
